iScout Report

Following is the scouting report on ESU Coventry's game against WUSC Flamengo.

• You have to wonder about a team where the crowed cheers when they put a string of 2 or 3 passes together.


• Average in size. 2 or 3 girls are stout.


• Flamengo scored on a poorly executed corner kick. A lot of ESU standing around.


• #24 midfielder is big and physical. No one to help her out though.


• Defensive players are average. Middle is big but not aggressive. #12 is fast but lacks foot skills.


• #3 forward is not big but plays physical and has good foot skills. Again, no one there to compliment her skills.


• ESU scored on a corner. No real plan of attack just a mosh pit in front of goal with swinging legs.


• Keeper is small but pretty fast.


• WUSC scored on a PK.


• #23 forward is big but lacks skills.


• Girls real sluggish in spite of water breaks every 15 minutes.

WUSC over ESU 3-1 final.

Summation
Conditioning. Sodium is in far better shape and will wear the ESU club down with physical play that will last all game. Look for some late scores.
Attack from forwards. Their defense looks young and inexperienced. Our forwards should attack them head on, get physical and they will crumble. Their middle defender is big but slow and unskilled. Score early and they will deflate.
Midfield. If we can contain #24 and #3 we will take away their entire offense. They have a tendency to make wild kicks. If Sodium can control the ball and tempo (something the Laura's are exceptional at!) we will control the entire game.
Defense. What can I say, "EAT'em Up"! We are 4 inches taller and 15 lbs heavier on average. Stop #3 & #24 (she is physical) we will shut down their offense. Set the stage early with physical defense and the ESU forwards will not want to go near our goal.

You should be chomp'n at the bit to get on the field against this team. Don't under estimate them, but if you give 100% for 60 minutes, you should come away with a victory!

GO SODIUM!
